Hi...I have taken time to look for a Mary Gilkes on the Canadian census, both 1901 and 1911...and there are a few...but none with the age...or the arrival date into Canada...which was May 13, 1899. She and the Huggetts were headed for Stratford Ontario and I do know that Marth Huggett ended up in Weston, York County where she died. I was thinking that maybe Mary "Gilkes" was a sister to Martha, but not found any as yet. I have tried all different spellings possible or at least quite a few to no avail.
Thank you for your input.
Gotcha

Looking at the image JenB has posted could it be Gelkes?  If you look at the second letter it could possibly be an "e" which has faded slightly at the top (when comparing it to other "e's) on the page.  What looks like the dot on an "i" looks like the tail of the "g" from the line above.

On the image which is linked it definitely looks like an "i" but not on the second one.

Hope I'm making sense here but I'm beginning to doubt it!
